Emotional Daniel Radcliffe declared his love for partner Erin Darke and their son as he won his first ever Tony Award at Sunday’s ceremony.
The British actor, 34, picked up the trophy for Best Actor in a Featured Role in a Musical Tony for Merrily We Roll Along, a revival of the 1981 Stephen Sondheim musical – in which he stars alongside Jonathan Groff and Lindsay Mendez.
The Harry Potter actor fought back tears as he took to the podium to accept the award – after gracing the carpet earlier in the night with actress Darke, 39 and performing with his co-stars – with the star making rare comments about his family life.
He said: ‘My love, Erin. You and our son are the best thing that’s ever happened to me. I love you so much. Thank you so much’ – as a tearful Darke watched from the audience.’
The pair – who have been together since 2012 – welcomed their son in April 2023.
